'''Notice to vandalizing halfwits, linkspammers, and people who don't read ]'''


<div style="display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap">
Before you sit down and construct a series of vandalizations to this page, or whine about the article I put a CSD tag on, or my AfD vote, you should be informed that ''your world orbits a ball of fire''. This ball of deadly heat is paradoxically far enough away that it actually provides ''some level of benefit'' to those who spend a measured amount of time in front of it. While you should not in any way stare at it, a respectful glance in its direction will show you that it is warm and in some ways '''healthy'''.
<div style="flex: 1 0 20em">


] '''Administrator changes'''
Accompanying the ball of fire is a collection of variant photosensitive lifeforms and constantly recycled breathing material, suitable for your use at any time you so please, and containing life-giving elements. As an added bonus, most of these materials are available to you '''entirely for free and 24 hours a day. '''

== List of editors by edit count ==
A few things. First, how did you generate the most recent list? I'm curious. If you used a better method than what is listed on the top of ], then please update the instructions to correspond to this better method. Next, please read ]. The consensus is that editors should be allowed to "unsubscribe" from the list, or at least replace their names with a placeholder; in the future, we will replace the names of editors on ] with a placeholder before uploading a new list, in order to avoid the (seemingly) inevitable edit war. —] (]/]) 22:08, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
:I generate the list through a direct database query, something most users cannot do, as it requires toolserver access. I will update the instructions to reflect this. --]<small>]&middot;]</small> 22:19, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

==Unicode and bot malfunctions==

In response to your message on my talkpage, fair point, however, I only reverted his page twice, what he is doing, is deleting my comments, and when I make a reply, calling them reverts, and threatening me with a block, what is your opinion on this? ] 10:36, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
:In fact, you shouldn't have reverted his page at all. His removal of comments means that he has seen them, I suggest you stop harassing him via his talk page by restoring those comments. --]<small>]&middot;]</small> 10:40, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

== Opting out? ==

Ahoy. As you know, a small amount of us admins have been opting out from varying WP namespace statistical lists. (For instance, I have removed myself from ] and ]). Would you be willing to accept requests to opt out of your administrative statistical reports?

:Thanks for your response.

:I'm not going to set a number, because that's simply inviting ].

Well, we could easily apply ] to the reverts done by ] and ]. There actions would fall under the ''Abiding by the letter of a policy or guideline while violating its spirit''. I'm all about neutrality, but lets enforce the rule on all editors.--] 01:47, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Could you please talk to ]? For the second time he has reverted many of my recent edits, without any justification. The info I have provided is all sourced, and is from major or well known scholars, I don't understand what he finds wrong with them for him to be acting this way. Please look into this, I really think we need a neutral user to step in and look at the facts.--] 06:38, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

== Blocked Tor Exit Node (129.21.60.134) ==

You blocked a Tor node that I recently started, which is perfectly fine and must be the case for Misplaced Pages to survive. However, I also use this machine for tunneling HTTP traffic at times and would like to be able to edit Misplaced Pages myself. I was under the impression that one could edit via Tor (or, a Tor IP) if they were logged in (]), but even though I log in, I am unable to edit. Can you enlighten me?
--] 16:27, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
:Tor nodes, like any other open proxies, are hard-blocked to prevent vandals from using their own IP to create accounts, then anonymous Tor proxies to avoid an autoblock. If you would like to edit from a computer that hosts a Tor proxy, you should either set the proxy to not allow exits to ports 80 or 443, or not allow any exiting. (The former can be done with your exit policy.) If you take any of these steps, please contact me, or use the {{tl|unblock}} template to contact another administrator, and your IP can be unblocked. --]<small>]&middot;]</small> 18:07, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
